Ziwei Holy Land.
Divine Mountain.
The jade plaza.
Ji Zining opened her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face.
She didn't know whether it was because of her mood, but after a night of cultivation, she was already close to a breakthrough,
just one final layer of window paper away from breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage!
Ji Zining stood up, her face full of delight.
Today, she planned to relax and have a good look around Ziwei Holy Land.
Come to think of it, in all the days since she joined Ziwei Holy Land, she had never properly looked around.
Once she got to know Ziwei Holy Land, she wouldn't get lost walking around it in the future.
No sooner had the thought occurred to her than she acted, leaving Divine Mountain and flying toward the disciples' gathering place below.
Of course, to keep anyone from recognizing her, Ji Zining took a few simple precautions.
She had to admit, the way she looked now was rather like the celebrities from her previous life when they went out, with her face wrapped up tight.
Once everything was ready, Ji Zining landed on a training ground with peace of mind.
Inside the training ground, many Ziwei Holy Land disciples were sparring on the fighting platforms.
Others were practicing divine abilities on their own. All in all, the training ground was bustling with activity.
Although Ji Zining's strange outfit drew some curious looks, no one noticed anything amiss.
That made Ji Zining breathe a small sigh of relief.
She had signed autographs until she was sick of it yesterday, and she didn't want to do it again today.
Suddenly, Ji Zining's expression froze.
On one of the fighting platforms, she spotted two disciples in Ziwei Holy Land inner disciple robes sparring.
That was all perfectly normal. What wasn't normal was the robes they wore!
On both their robes were three characters, almost identical.
They were written in a running script that blended regular script with a touch of cursive: Ji Zining!
The two inner disciples sparring were wearing the robes she had signed yesterday!
Looking at their robes, Ji Zining's sense of embarrassment shot straight to its limit.
She felt a little humiliated.
She hadn't thought much of it before trying it herself. Only now did she know what it felt like to see other people walking around with her autograph on them.
Complicated, incomparably complicated!
Just then, more than ten figures descended from the sky, their inner disciple robes showing that they too were inner disciples of Ziwei Holy Land.
But the moment Ji Zining saw them, she turned and fled without a second thought.
Because the robes those inner disciples wore bore her autograph too!
Ji Zining could even see the jealous, envious looks in the eyes of the other inner disciples who didn't have them.
Those looks nearly made Ji Zining explode on the spot.
Now she truly understood what it meant to bring disaster upon oneself and be unable to live with it!
That was exactly the state she was in now.
Why had her brain short-circuited yesterday, making her come up with those autographs?
After returning to Divine Mountain, Ji Zining decisively abandoned her plan to relax.
Relax?
Was that what she had gone there to do?
She had gone looking for misery!
Forget it, forget it. She might as well focus on cultivation.
After settling her emotions, Ji Zining quickly immersed herself in cultivation.
As she cultivated, Ji Zining felt the tranquility in her heart and couldn't help sighing with emotion. Cultivation really was where she ultimately belonged!
In the Peach Blossom Forest Small World.
After listening to Hua Qianyan's report, Li Changsheng's face was full of question marks.
"You're saying the Divine Son came up with an autograph? And it's even started a new craze in Ziwei Holy Land?"
Hua Qianyan looked helpless.
"That's right, Ancestor. That's exactly what happened."
Ghosts knew what he had seen when he went out today!
At a glance, three or four out of every ten people were wearing robes with Ji Zining's name on them.
After asking around, he learned that Ji Zining had signed them after her tribulation ended yesterday.
At that point, a bad feeling came over Hua Qianyan, and he hurriedly made a circuit of Ziwei Holy Land.
In the end, just as he had expected, Ziwei Holy Land had been taken over by those robes bearing Ji Zining's name!
In less than a day, there were even counterfeits!
Some disciples who had arrived too late to get an autograph had copied the real thing and forged one on their own robes.
Now, in Ziwei Holy Land, anyone who said he didn't have Divine Son Ji Zining's autograph would be looked down on as outdated.
Hua Qianyan was somewhat speechless.
What kind of flashy nonsense was this?
It had actually driven so many Ziwei Holy Land cultivators into a frenzy!
Even core disciples and some elders had not escaped this calamity.
Li Changsheng smiled with interest.
"That really is interesting. But don't concern yourself with it. This is a good thing."
"A good thing?"
Hua Qianyan froze.
This was a good thing?
Li Changsheng nodded firmly.
"Indeed, it is a good thing!"
"Let me ask you: are the robes they're wearing marked with Divine Son Ji Zining's name?"
Hua Qianyan didn't know why Li Changsheng was asking. Hadn't he just said so?
Somewhat puzzled, he nodded.
"That's right."
Li Changsheng smiled and spoke again.
"Then are they comparing themselves with one another over those robes, even going so far as to make counterfeits?"
Hua Qianyan still didn't quite understand.
"That's right too."
Seeing this, Li Changsheng glared at Hua Qianyan, frustrated that iron could not be made into steel.
"I've put it so plainly. You still don't understand?"
Hua Qianyan frowned.
"Ancestor, what am I supposed to understand?"
Li Changsheng shook his head and sighed.
"And you call yourself the Holy Lord. Even a junior like Ji Zining could think of this method, yet you don't know the first thing about it."
Hua Qianyan's expression grew serious. Looking ready to learn, he respectfully cupped his hands toward Li Changsheng.
"Please enlighten me, Ancestor!"
Li Changsheng rose to his feet, clasped his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly.
"That girl Ji Zining came up with this autograph, making the disciples of our Ziwei Holy Land scramble to keep it, even going so far as to counterfeit it so they could fit in."
"Her purpose was to make the disciples of Ziwei Holy Land remember her at all times, and constantly tell themselves in their hearts that she is the Divine Son of Ziwei Holy Land!"
"She is also someone the disciples of Ziwei Holy Land must look up to and revere. Those autographs are there to remind them of that!"
"As time goes on, the disciples of our Ziwei Holy Land will inevitably grow more and more reverent toward Divine Son Ji Zining, increasing the Divine Son's prestige."
"When Ji Zining takes power in the future, she will also be able to command everyone more easily!"
"Now that I've explained it like this, do you understand?"
Hearing Li Changsheng's words, Hua Qianyan's body shook violently.
So that was how it was!
That girl Ji Zining actually had such deep schemes!
With a single autograph, she had made the disciples of Ziwei Holy Land constantly remind themselves
that she, Ji Zining, was the Divine Son of Ziwei Holy Land, a role model all disciples needed to look up to.
Without anyone noticing, Ji Zining's prestige and authority would continue to rise!
Hua Qianyan let out a long breath of turbid air and sighed with emotion.
"As expected of someone blessed with half the fortune of the True Martial Dao Domain. I can only sigh at how I can't compare!"
On the jade plaza of Divine Mountain.
"Achoo!"
Ji Zining, who had been cultivating, suddenly sneezed and was startled out of her cultivation.
Rubbing her nose, Ji Zining looked utterly puzzled.
"Did I catch a chill? That can't be right. Can I still catch a chill at the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
